subject: Health Advantages Of A Bidet Or Bidet Attachment [print this page] Cleanliness is next to godliness, it is saidCleanliness is next to godliness, it is said. But you don't have to believe in a higher power to see the importance in bathroom hygiene. Germs multiply in environments where human waste is disposed of, and if you have multiple persons living in your house, especially when children are involved, you know that sickness and bacteria that cause them can spread like wildfire. The thing about a lack of bathroom hygiene is this: whether you are a man or a woman, these problems can manifest themselves in unique, challenging and often painful ways. If you are unaware of the kinds of damage that this can cause, consider the following ailments that are brought on as a direct result of poor hygiene in waste heavy areas:
Chronic Urinary Tract Infections
This ailment affects both men and women and can cause mild to severe infections that may need the care of a doctor to clear up. Infections are also suspected of being partially responsible for certain cancers that develop in women such as cervical. But you don't have to be a woman to feel similar effects. Men suffer urinary tract infections as well, and since the most nerve cells are found around the tip of the male sexual organ, burning sensations are amplified to often excruciating degrees as the normal bodily functions take a turn for the worst. Cystitis and Urethritis are the two most common forms of urinary tract infection out there, and they could both be prevented with appropriate bathroom hygiene.
Hemorrhoids
Another ailment that can affect men and women alike, hemorrhoids can vary in the amount of pain they cause. External hemorrhoids are extremely painful and will probably require the attention of a doctor to clear up completely. Discomfort grows, along with the size of the hemorrhoid if it is not properly kept clean and treated each time one goes to the restroom and passes stool.
Diarrhea and dysentery
These two ailments directly affect how waste is processed and disposed of in the body, and rather than make light of them as a grade school joke, one should be aware they can actually be life threatening in severe cases. While industrialized countries don't see proliferations in the way that third world countries do, the results on either side of the pond are extremely uncomfortable at best and lethal at worst.
Whether man or woman, it is extremely important that you take your bathroom hygiene seriously. And the best way to do that is through the use of a bidet or bidet attachment, the latter of which is more cost effective and more likely to produce long term results since they can be placed into more homes for people of different economic classes.
